BARRIERS TO THE DIGITALISATION OF THE CONSTRUCTION SECTOR IN INDIA
Abstract
In the construction sector, digital transformation has emerged as an essential approach that enables companies to improve productivity, speed up operations and complete projects efficiently. This paper examines how digital technology is transforming the Indian construction industry. India has much to gain from digitalisation, given its diverse projects and huge infrastructure needs. A Likert scale was used to collect survey data. According to the study, which used exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to identify the underlying relationships between the measured variables, 3 out of 10 potential barriers to digitalisation in the Indian construction industry were found to exist. To accelerate the integration of digital technologies, the study highlights the importance of creating a supportive ecosystem that goes beyond financial support and includes collaboration between construction companies, technology providers, research institutes and educational institutions
